GOP-e gettin’ scared.......

[Redleg Duke]

Yeah, she has to leave Alaska to get away from a stalker that the authorities won’t do a damned thing about, so now, she isn’t an Alaska resident, according to a RAT!

[TheBattman]

As much as I generally like Palin, if I lived in Alaska, I would have 2nd thoughts about voting for her in any election... She chose to bail on the governor’s office after being elected. What’s to keep her from doing the same in the US Senate?

[alloysteel]

The Establishment Republicans in Alaska are about the only people for whom Sarah Palin has no “profile”. She looms large wherever she goes and earns respect and even grudging admiration among just about every demographic EXCEPT the E-Republicans.

You don’t want to make the Mama Grizzly Bear angry.

[bigbob]

Head fake.

They have no idea what she is thinking.

[Bringbackthedraft]

LOL, yeah she’s under the radar all right. If she runs, watch how much Soros type money gets pumped in there to stop her.

[CaptainK]

I think she’s doing a great job backing conservative candidates for the House and Senate. Nothing wrong with being a highly paid kingmaker. Ask Ted Cruz.

[Bigtigermike]

The author here falsely claim that Joe Miller ran against Begich. She doesn’t even who is who

[SeeSharp]

The former governor “has no profile in Alaska. She’s not active,” says a Republican consultant familiar with Alaska politics.

Translation: The Republican money men in Alaska won't back her, even if she is popular. She got up too many noses as Governor.

[Essie]

The National Review only likes Eastern establishment candidates. This is just another example.

[Bratch]

[Colonel Kangaroo]

I'm not shocked that the Club for Growth is not enthusiastic. Their sitting out the fight against “immigration reform” suggests that Palin may be a little too populist for that crowd.

[AU72]

She had a 70% approval rating as Governor before the drive-by media went to town on her.

[Theodore R.]

I think AK would do to Palin what CA did to Nixon in 1962: they want to show her who is boss and just how “open-minded” the Alaskans are.

[Buckeye McFrog]

My guess is that flying off to Arizona for five years to write books and appear on television, only to return on the eve of a primary saying “I want to be your Senator” will not go down well with the folks in Alaska.

[Timber Rattler]

Oh, so Alaskans don't know who Sarah Palin is or anything that she has done for their state?

Wishful thinking from the GOP-E and Begich's Rat camp.

[0.E.O]

If she was running her own race, she probably wouldn’t be able to maintain her role as a kingmaker in the GOP party by making endorsements and traveling around the country, as she did in the 2010 and 2012 election cycles.

No probably to it. If Palin announces for the Alaska seat then she's in there for the duration. And that's what I see is the biggest drawback. She can't campaign for other conservative candidates where she may make a difference, both at the primary and general election level. So are we better off with one conservative junior senator from Alaska? Or perhaps three or four or five conservative senators that Sarah Palin helped elect?

[The Sons of Liberty]

Mark Begich, to snarkily remark to Politico yesterday, “I don’t know if she’s a resident

I don't know if Hussein is even a citizen, BUT THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO CONCERN THE DIMS AT ALL!
